💭 Angela’s Tips & Recipe Notes If you choose to remove the husks from your corn before grilling, you don’t have to soak them in water beforehand. To store: Wrap your corn in foil and place it into an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.To reheat: Reheat your corn in an oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated thoroughly. ❓ Does Corn On The Cob Need To Be Soaked Before Grilling? No, the corn does not have to be soaked beforehand. However, if you are wanting to grill your corn with the husks still on, then it is a good idea to soak it. Soaking the corn will help to keep your husks from burning or catching on fire while on the grill. ❓ Is It Better To Grill Corn With Or Without The Husk? You can grill corn either way! The husk helps to add flavor and steam the corn, making it extra tender. However, it still is super yummy even if it was shucked beforehand. If the corn is grilled without the husk, it won’t be as tender and will be more charred. It is all based on personal preference (but both ways are delicious!) ❓ How Long Does It Take To Grill Corn On The Cob? The total cooking time can vary based on the heat of your grill and the size of the corn. However, in general, corn on the cob should take about 15-20 minutes to cook. 🍴 Best Veggie Side Dishes!
